What to look out for when considering a small or specialist university or college
There are smaller institutions across the country that offer students the opportunity to pinpoint what they want to do during their educational career and tackle it at a specialist university. This can be in subjects like art, music, drama, technological sciences or veterinary medicine, for example. These institutions will often work with people from within the industry, allowing students to develop their practical knowledge and experience. Smaller class sizes can make the experience feel more personal, building a sense of community among the students.
